Quadrant sucks! It doesn't figure in the fps cap that is hit on the graphics test. Cap is usually around 65 or 70. It also puts too much weight on the file system type/speed. Probably the file system is slower on yours. Try rebooting and run again with no apps running.
[Xoom Android Development] Adam B.:
It would definitely seem that the file system is the limitation on mine. I can match the CPU only related benchmarks posted by the OP, but quadrant still won't go above 2400, even after a fresh boot. :confused:
[Xoom Android Development] socomdark:
I got 2515 on my first benchmark. I had it on performance and Max and min at 1504ghz
[Xoom Android Development] pyroboy1080:
Great work! Keep it up! :)
[Xoom Android Development] pyroboy1080:
How much do you want for the gtab?
[Xoom Android Development] bigrushdog:
Wow

Now we have coolbho3000 of SetCpu cooking overclocked Xoom kernels! And it's only like day 3. I'm so excited... I need my meds! Full of epic win

See how I mention that the Xoom forums have the "big dogs' attention" and now quite literally, comes another big dog of the Android Community, bigrushdog! hehe

This is all very exicting
[Xoom Android Development] jiwengang:
AWESOME!!! Thanks!!!

Streak 7 benefited from updated SetCPU too!!!
[Xoom Android Development] bigrushdog:
You're too kind good sir. I'm still getting my feet wet here. I wonder if there is any interest in an SBC kernel for Xoom? My bad, this is a setcpu thread. NM
[Xoom Android Development] arrtoodeetoo:
Is this an overclock of one core, or both?
[Xoom Android Development] socomdark:
Should be both as he put support for tegra 2 devices in his app description. Its pretty snappy and no force closes so its good to me.
[Xoom Android Development] bwcorvus:
HAHA...the light turns green at 95% so i wonder...anyway yes this is bada$$ a 50% increase is amazing.
[Xoom Android Development] mrksbrd:
I'm still getting to step 5 and still receiving "error:device not found" even after trying several suggestions posted here....it will reboot, but no wifi or 3g connection...HELP !!!
[Xoom Android Development] blkr00t:
Does the overclocking to anything to help the choppiness when moving through screens with Live Wallpapers running? Secondly, does the OC help the screen rotation lag? The screen rotation on the Xoom lags something serious compared to the Ipad.

I was about to buy a Xoom today but BestBuy was sold out. One thing is for sure though, once those two issues get resolved, the Xoom will probably be my everyday driver instead of my laptop for most chores.
[Xoom Android Development] socomdark:
Are you doing it while on the lock screen or home screen?
[Xoom Android Development] Bauxite:
I'm pretty sure the rotation setting is a delay, not some form of cpu lag.
[Xoom Android Development] mrksbrd:
I'm an IDIOT !!!!!...thought everything was done from fastboot.....thanks for making me open my eyes...lol
[Xoom Android Development] colbyb25:
What lag? Mine is silky smooth at stock. Video is a codec issue. I am sure software updates will solve the soon.
[Xoom Android Development] coolbho3000:
I updated the instructions to make it clear that you need to run a fastboot reboot before pushing the module, thanks. :)
[Xoom Android Development] mrksbrd:
Your work is spectacular....once my brain fart passed, it is working flawlessly @ 1.4ghz...boot up time is faster, apps open faster, load times on web pages are better....thank you...thank you.

This device I feel is going to have limitless potential in the future as far as builds and overall customization ability goes, due to finally being able to unlock bootloader
[Xoom Android Development] miphonematt:
Surely you jest, A Pimp Named BigRushDog. ;)

Technically, this is a kernel thread. There is just a requirement to update SetCPU in order to control the CPU frequency of the Tegra2. I certainly hope that anyone using this kernel with SetCPU has purchased SetCPU from the market rather than using the free version offered here on XDA. With a 500MHz bump that nets almost a 50% performance increase, 1.99 plus tax is a small price to pay

So after Unlocking, Rooting, then flashing this kernel I am getting a few new issues. When I have Live Wallpaper enabled Skype had FCed on me 2 times, and crashed all together on me twice as well where it reboots into the boot animation. I've had a similar reboot when using Market I believe it was. I have since disabled LWP and taken the CPU freq down to 1400 Max, and so far no more issues.

Just wanted to share. Keep in mind this could also just be bugs in the Android build that simply get exacerbated due to the increased CPU freq.

EDIT: Just happened again in Skype. Prior to Unlock/Root/Kernel this was not happening. I'd like to try to wipe my device again, but I'm not sure of how to go about doing so without Amon's or Koush's custom recovery tools. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Has anyone else had similar issues? I'm going to try to bump the CPU freq down to stock, and see if I still run into the issue.
[Xoom Android Development] ihtfp69:
Good job, coolbho3k. Awesome work!
[Xoom Android Development] miphonematt:
I agree 100%. I definitely feels intentional to me.
[Xoom Android Development] blkr00t:
Thank you Bauxite...Have you not noticed any kind of lag when changing orientation? Honestly this is one of only two issues that kept me from buying a Xoom a few hours ago. Well actually 3 issues, the third being they were out of stock, the second being the choppiness when using LWP.
[Xoom Android Development] blkr00t:
Colbyb25, I agree with how silky it is when going from home screens within Honeycomb. I was blown away, it feels almost glass like. However, the screen rotation is a nag especially for those who already own or have used the Ipad. I just bought my wife an Ipad Friday and that rotation is flawless. Granted the Xoom beats the brakes off of Ipad in so many other areas.

Have you experienced any choppiness using LWP or any delay with screen rotation?
[Xoom Android Development] blkr00t:
Miphonematt, what do you mean it feels intentional? It is very very noticeable when using Google Books for example and you want to change from landscape to portrait or vice versa. With the Ipad, this is a seamless experience.
[Xoom Android Development] jefftse:
Does it effect the battery life?
[Xoom Android Development] Elysian893:
Kills it. It drained just like my Droid at 1ghz...
[Xoom Android Development] kregstrong:
i got all the way to fastboot reboot after i flashed the xoom oc boot img and after i typed fastboot reboot all it does is reboot and sit at the motorola dual core screen, this sucks, any help? can someone maybe get on gtalk and help me a bit? kregstrong@gmail.com
[Xoom Android Development] Bauxite:
It's programmed in I'm fairly sure. This means.... that when you turn the device it WAITS ON PURPOSE, then rotates. If it were 'lag' it wouldn't take the same amount of time every single time to rotate. I think it just really wants to make sure you meant to rotate it, and not rotate right away. Either way it's not slow at all, and who the f cares?
[Xoom Android Development] vitodintino1228:
I agree with this. I use to think the same way, WHY is this thing SO damn slow at rotating.. Than I thought, hmm, on my moms Ipad i'm constantly turning it to get it back to the original view, granted it's quick to switch, but I can see why google or moto decided to do this.

Also, how badly are we talking for battery drain? and does the device get hot at all?
[Xoom Android Development] monadzback:
Man' this is fast
[Xoom Android Development] bigrushdog:
Guys, I've noticed this too. Look, once google drop HC source, JesusFreke can update baksmali. Then we can deodex this thing and tear the framework apart and squash these little annoyances.
[Xoom Android Development] miphonematt:
blkr00t,

I have investigated the rotation "lag", and as Bauxite stated, it takes the same amount of time to rotate. The purpose of this "wait to rotate" is to be sure that the accelerometer wasn't triggered accidentally. Give it some time, and I think that you will find once the CyanogenMod team starts building CM8 (man, that just sounds crazy, maintaining CM6.1, CM7 beta, and CM8) that there will be a configuration option to modify the wait to rotate time, and that the Xoom will rotate at least AS nicely as the iPad. Also remember that iPad has had a year to work out the kinks. iPad (to me) feels much more like a phone OS on a tablet than Honeycomb does, similar to that of my gTab. I love my gTab, and I love my Xoom... I just simply love this Tegra2! And now I love it even more with this overclock.

Has anyone faced any issues with the overclock as I have stated? I have a post in this thread about a couple FC's and reboots (into the HC boot animation, not the red Moto logo). It may actually not be the overclock per se, as I unlocked my bootloader, rooted, and flashed the OC boot.img all in one motion. It's hard to say what exactly is causing my issues since 3 things changed in succession without stability testing in between.
[Xoom Android Development] miphonematt:
I have added you to gTalk.... awaiting your acceptance so I can try to help you out. Hit me on gTalk, I'll give you my number and help you out. My gtalk is the same as my username here with the at gmail dawt com aftah.
[Xoom Android Development] blkr00t:
Obviously I care otherwise I wouldn't have asked!
[Xoom Android Development] blkr00t:
Thanks...that is what I was hoping to hear. I really, really want to buy one of these things. I like being on the bleeding edge but honestly have selfish reason's for being apprehensive. I don't want my wife talking crap about her $500 device being so smooth while my $800 device is less so at least in one area.

Tuesday's announcement from the JOBS man could change the equation yet again though.
[Xoom Android Development] blkr00t:
Thank you...I think I'm going to quite being a punk and find a Best Buy that has one tomorrow and get it. You are right on with the gTab feeling like a big phone. Playing with the Xoom, I don't get that feeling whatsoever. Your response and others have been very helpful to me.
[Xoom Android Development] miphonematt:
Many Best Buy's don't have any in stock available for purchase, as they are all on hold for pre-orders. You can also go to a Verizon store and buy the Xoom for 799 outright, with no Verizon service if you so choose. I had actually planned to get the 2GB monthly data plan for my Xoom, but unfortunately had a rough end to 2010 and paid my bills late for the last 3 months, and Verizon wanted a $400 deposit for my 20/month data plan... like WOW dude... I could understand 200... but 400!!!!

Anyhow, the point is, you can buy it outright from Verizon at the same price as with Best Buy in case you aren't able to buy one from Best Buy. The same 14 day return policy is in effect at Verizon, but they have a $70 restocking fee if you return your Xoom. If you can wait, I'd also read about a coupon code to buy your Xoom from the Motorola online store for 599, and save yourself 200 bucks (again, if you can wait... I couldn't, so I wouldn't think less of you if you can't, instant gratification is worth more than 200 bucks to me hehe)

Oh goodness gracious... Don't give in to the temptation of the Dark Side, I can assure you that Darth Jobs is not your father. And even with a jailbreak, the iPad platform is much more locked down. Regreat the decision you will if you buy an iPad 2
[Xoom Android Development] socomdark:
That promotion is over as many people took advantage of that mistake. That coupon code was only suppose to be for accessories
[Xoom Android Development] blkr00t:
That restocking fee would be the reason for my staying far away from Verizon.

I'd like to hear more about the coupon, if I could use that I would buy one right now. The last I heard from that thread as of yesterday sometime, it was no longer working for the tablet, only for accessories. Do you have any more coupon info? Honeycomb is an amazing development for tablets and will only get better. A great point was made earlier about the Ipad having a year of bake in the get to this point.
[Xoom Android Development] Morkai Almandragon:
costco is your best bet hands down
[Xoom Android Development] jefftse:
Seriously? How bad?
[Xoom Android Development] miphonematt:
Oh, well that is good to know. Thank you for the update/correction on that.

Agreed, they have a 90 day return policy as I understand, with no restocking fee.

Ya, that was me. I guess I was wrong about the coupon. I got the 25% off accessories at Verizon. My original intent in buying the Xoom was to return it after getting my Honeycomb fix, that would have been worth $70 to me. After having used the device, I'm a fan. I own an iPad that I use for testing (I do some private development for Android/RIM/IOS/WinMo) and my gTab was my favorite prior to my Xoom. I paid for the Xoom out of my own pocket even, as where my gTab and iPad were both paid for by my business. To me, the Xoom is just more functional. I find that in the Multimedia arena, both the iPad and the Xoom are mostly equal (although Honeycomb's new widget functionality put it slightly slightly above the iPad), but from a productivity standpoint, the iPad isn't nearly as robust as the Xoom. The Xoom, to me, is a tablet with a Mobile OS done RIGHT!

My only complaint with the Xoom, is the missing full size USB host port like the gTab has. It is nice being able to plug in my $20 Microsoft wireless mouse, and use it like a mini desktop (on my gTab, I am able to do this, and have a cursor). I haven't tried using my bluetooth Apple Wireless Mouse yet on the Xoom. I would think it should work since the HID profile works with my bluetooth Apple Wireless keyboard that I was also using with my gTab.

I'm not finding the drain to be all that bad. I've been using my Xoom for some news reading, emails, and web browsing and I still have 68% on my battery after having flashed the OC about 6 hours ago. Mind you, I've been doing quite a bit of posting on XDA on my PC as well. But I have Bluetooth and Wifi both on, and was OCed to 1.5 for 3 hours, and 1.4 for the second 3 on interactive governor, and have only maybe... mabe 10% less battery than I would have for the same use on stock kernel.
[Xoom Android Development] colbyb25:
I don't have LWP on here yet but I will give it a try. As for screen rotation, there is a 1 second delay but the transition is smooth.
[Xoom Android Development] blkr00t:
That is some great commentary/feedback. It's all too easy to say "X device is better than Y device" without offering real comparisons. The info that you have provided certainly gives me the incentive to take a shot at the Xoom, especially if I can get one from Costco. That 90 return no restock is too compelling.

That 90 return is vital with the G-Slate coming out soon plus the Playbook, not to mention the Samsung 10.1. I have also been anxiously waiting for the HTC Flyer. I feel that the stylus is a nice touch that will be a welcome return to the hand held devices.
[Xoom Android Development] no6969el:
wow this is amazing...great work!!!

i wonder what its gonna take to get this on the notion ink adam?
[Xoom Android Development] Flaunt77:
First off amazing work on the setcpu. I'm always a fan of overclocking.

For me, I'm trying to decide between the toshiba tablet due out In April and the wifi motorola xoom. The toshiba tablet has a full USB host and SD card slot (not micro SD) with the same resolution of screen. Well I should say that it's rumoredto to be out in April.. I think the doom is great, but the lack of full USB host is the only thing stopping me right now. I was also considering notion ink Adam, but the lower res screen and only two finger touch was bugging me. Toshiba tablet seems to be the perfect amalgamation. ATM I'm trying yo convince myself that USB host isn't that important (but it's soo convenient).

Anyway, back to topic. I'm so happy this tegra 2 chip finally got overclocked! I hope it remains stable at this clock and doesn't burn out!!
[Xoom Android Development] Diversion:
Should only see considerable drain when the processor is indeed pushing over 1ghz.. depending on what voltage the OP had to use to get 1.5ghz stable for us.

If your governor is set to 'Interactive' then when your Xoom is idle, like reading a website, or doing non-gaming apps, etc.. it should be sitting at 200~mhz, which is considered mostly idle work...

If you're using 'Performance' governor and forcing the processors to run at max speed, then yes you'll see some craptastic battery life.. but the Xoom sure does fly at 1.5ghz.. web browsing is even more casual and fun as it renders pages much faster :P
[Xoom Android Development] jondwillis:
I've been running overcloced at 1.5 ghz for a couple hours now. It is stable, not hard on the battery. I'm not noticing a huge speed increase outside of benchmarks. The ui is buttery smooth most of the time, but still stutters and tears every so often. Software problems, like slow rendering on websites with many images, are not improved noticeably. I will try playing some videos and see if software decoding has improved!

This is still awesome, and I am reliving the good old days of being on the bleeding edge with my og droid :-)
[Xoom Android Development] AlienCraB:
Awesome! But can you run some stress tests on setCPU and post the results as well as some battery consumption stats and thermal reaction of the cores to this OC?

Just to know what will be the results of this OC apart from the blazing speed before doing it :)
[Xoom Android Development] miphonematt:
I know what you mean with the other devices coming out soon. The LG device sounds pretty awesome with the 3D camera setup... how fun would that be??!?!!? The problem with me is, I'll end up with like 3 tablets because I have no self control when it comes to buying gadgets. My business partners aren't going to buy "I need to test the apps on all these tablets" or anything like that haha.

But seriously, I think in the end I want to end up with 1 10", 1 7", and a 4.3" phone (I currently have the EVO, but I'll get a dual core phone when one is available). The Xoom is a solid device, and as far as devices that are currently released go it is my favorite.

For the folks asking about this Overclock making it to other devices, I would count on a fairly significant waiting period. My guess is that it will be at least another 3 or 4 weeks. This is a 2.6.36 based kernel. With other devices, most of them are currently running .32 or CM based ROMs with GB I think have a .34 or .35. That and the fact of the different hardware for each device, it's nothing short of a complete re-engineering to get it ported. Now, if Google releases AOSP sooner than that, then it vastly increases the chances of a similar overclock for your device.

Coolbho3k is a genius, and us Xoom owners are very lucky that he decided to pick one up himself to play with.
[Xoom Android Development] miphonematt:
I took my Xoom off the charger at 3pm today, and it had a 92% charge. The first 4 hours was light weight use, things like reading news (where I'm on a page for 5-10 minutes), reading web pages, and writing/reading emails. From 7-10 a 3 year old was playing with Talking Tom Cat almost non-stop, only with some breaks to play with Zebra Paint. From 10-Midnight she was watching a Movie on it. So now the Xoom is at 20% battery still. I think that is pretty darn good. I feel like the OC has a fairly small impact on battery life in relationship to the performance boost.

I personally feel the performance boost. It's not in the UI so much as starting to play an HD movie or an app feel at least a little bit quicker. I'm really happy with this kernel (with the updated SetCPU of course), even with the issues I have been facing.

Was stagefright enabled? I believe that fudges the hell out of your quadrant score by skipping a test.

Very impressive nonetheless!
[Xoom Android Development] sarge78:
Cheers mate! Nice results too, good to see performance is in the same ball park as Intel's Atom.

Hey Cool,

Any chance we could get this to work on the Dell Streak 7?
[Xoom Android Development] Greenarcher707:
Holy! My Xoom is smoking fast! Thank you! My Nexus S and Xoom gets 3000+ on quadrant. Awesome.
[Xoom Android Development] alexdw369:
I've unlocked and rooted, installed this kernel, re-enabled wi-fi, but now my Market isn't working. It updated itself when I first got it connected, but then while trying to download SetCPU, I found that it kept force-closing, so I uninstalled the update to the Market, and now it won't update. Could somebody pull and PM me their updated Market apk?
[Xoom Android Development] miphonematt:
This issue, and the ones I've been having are situations where I would wipe Cache and Dalvik. Man, we really need the scripts/tools from AmonRA or Clockwork Mod. Maybe we beg Koush to give us CWM with the flashing tools disbaled for now?

For you sir, alexdw369, this is what you need to do. Go into Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > All and Force Stop Market, clear cache, clear data. Then go to Google Services Framework (should be 5 or 6 applications up from Market in "All") and Force Stop, then Clear Data. Then reboot your Xoom and Market should automatically update again
[Xoom Android Development] Z4nd4r:
I'd love to see HC and this ported to the Streak 7, too. Very underrated tab.
[Xoom Android Development] Shinzul:
Nicely done!

I can't wait for honeycomb src so we can start getting cyanogenmod for honeycomb on it.
[Xoom Android Development] Shinzul:
Haha, as soon as the hc source drops, I'll just compile it from source with all the bugs squashed... no need to decompile anything :).
[Xoom Android Development] Skiddywinks:
Sick. Just... sick.
[Xoom Android Development] dubsjw27:
how does everyone plan to go for the 4G upgrade when apparently Motorola has come out saying that "rooted" devices will not be eligible?
[Xoom Android Development] bwcorvus:
Along as my sd card starts working, I could give two craps about 4g.
[Xoom Android Development] diaa08:
first off, device manufacturers talk a big game about this stuff, mostly to discourage people from doing things like root and fing up their devices and asking for support/warranty.

second, i very much suspect that they will actually give a damn as long as what you send them is a stock tablet for them to work with. imagine the headache of figuring out roms, customizations, etc. i have no way of knowing if there is a completely stealth way of rooting that leaves no trace, but i suspect there is, and if there isn't i would be floored if they bothered beyond checking that you were running a stock rom, if that.
[Xoom Android Development] coolbho3000:
Testing an L2 cache prefetching patch from Nvidia that was brought to my attention, which should substantially increase performance beyond the 1.5GHz overclock. If it boots, I'll update the kernel here. (already in my github, thanks ccfries).
[Xoom Android Development] Flaunt77:
Any idea if the GPU side can be overclocked at all?
[Xoom Android Development] destroyerbmx:
I already installed a bunch of apps and I am in a 1x network with no wifi right now. I am going home this weekend, I will root and run this. Is it safe to run at 1.2 for prolonged times?
[Xoom Android Development] coolbho3000:
I'd go as far as to say that 1.2 is 100% safe no matter what, since essentially the same chip goes into the Tegra 2 3D which runs at that frequency.

It could be possible, but I haven't looked into it yet.
